The Ebikes sub-Reddit forum has a thread that blew up yesterday after a US bike shop owner posted a photo of a letter he received from his shop insurer, warning of an unaffordable rise in insurance premiums obliging his shop to stop working on non-UL 2849 certified e-bikes. Comments from other...

Oh man that’s too bad. @Coralee because you just bought the bike, perhaps you can swap it for another model with belt drive and the new Smart System the dealer has in stock, do they carry Gazelle bikes by chance? I like the new Gazelle Avignon, Arroyo, and Ultimate C380 models, and those bikes...

Hello, I have only a manual twist controller on my Enviolo hub. Given your bike is using a new Bosch Smart System with Kiox display I assume the Enviolo Automatiq functions are controlled on the bike through the Bosch LED remote, or via the Bosch eBike Flow app. With the separate stand alone...

Depends how the trailer hitch attaches to the bike. I could see an issue if you had a hub motor with a power cable coming out the end would prevent you using a Thule axle hitch mount. Also a mid-drive makes it easier to fix a flat. I notice the Kalkhoff Endeavour 1.b uses a Bosch Gen 3 motor...

I wrote this post on my Adelaide trip https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/dewey-down-under.54684/post-631079 Looking at the photos I recall there was an EV event featuring ebike test rides in mid-November at Campbelltown Memorial Oval. Might be worth keeping an eye out if they run it...

Hello, I visited Adelaide in November and rented a folding ebike from Cit-E-Cycles to ride along the Torrens Linear park trail. You're right to try out hub vs mid-drive motor with a torque sensor, either the Reid or XDS sound reasonable, and deliver similar 80 nm torque to the 36v Bafang BBS01...

I‘m interested in trying out folding bikes so yesterday I took a test ride on the Pedego Latch V2. My first time on a 500w hub motor ebike. Riding up hill I found the Latch V2 had plenty of power to go up hill at 15mph which is the programmed speed limit for the cadence PAS, just pedaling the...

Good to know, thanks. Makes sense for a defunct brand (ProdecoTech) to buy the Serial 1 brand to get back in the game. That would make at least 5 brands with e-bike final assembly lines in the US from imported frames and parts: Electric Bike Company, Pedego, Day6, Motivate (Lyft ebikeshare...

Wash Cycle is a commercial laundry that services Hospitals, Hotels, and University campuses in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Boston, I've seen their bike riders towing 3-4 trailers in a cargo train. But laundry is lightweight, whereas this solution seems to be for heavier cargo. I wonder if...

https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2023/11/22/serial-1-started-harley-davidson-sold-lev-manufacturing BRAIN report the Serial 1 brand has been sold to LEV Manufacturing, Inc, who have ambitions to onshore final assembly in the US.

Halfords may be one of the few UK retailers who can source the parts. Assuming your bike has the SR Suntour Hesc system.

Take it to Halfords, they should be able to diagnose the problem and source replacement parts. The Halfords warranty on electrical components differs between 1-2 years depending on the brand, but all batteries are covered for up to 2 years, they do say not to repair yourself but to take it to...

The Sun, Ngaut Ngaut, Murray River, SA

Flying back to DC today. Goodbye Adelaide, & thank you!

Stuart from Cit-e-bike, he is an ebike enthusiast. Good experience renting a folding ebike for a week. Stuart mentioned they are moving location at the end of this year.

To the Murray River dark sky reserve, my trip timing coincided with a waxing moon which was great for looking at the planets through binoculars, but not fainter objects. The ASSA ‘sky this month’ video on their YouTube channel was helpful. Loved seeing a meteor!
